This is not plagiarism at all.
Brian May is playing the same chord - F#m - while Jimmy Page is constantly changing. I don´t see how this is a rip off.
You can say it has the same style, but the song doesn´t even have the same melody, or even the same chord changes.
I don´t argue that Brian could have been inspired by Zeppellin´s song or by the millions of other songs in existence in the world that feature a similar approach. But being inspired is far from plagiarism.

Yeah, I don't hear the similarity at all. Someone else said Let Me In wasn't on The Works because it was too similar to Hammer to Fall. I don't know how anyone makes these connections.

If an artist you like does that he or she was merely 'inspired'.

If an artist you don't like does that he or she is a dirty backstabbing plagiarising cretin who should be tortured for eternity.

Equality and diversity!

sorry Mr Mouth, but you're yet another who didn't read what i actually typed in this thread. I take it YOU have listened to the original version of the song? and if YOU have you'd understand completely why i said "idea for the guitar melody" - i NEVER referred to anything else of the song - JUST THE GUITAR MELODY.
where in what i said would you get the idea i meant "the whole song" ?

Try 'White Queen' if you really want to go for the ripoff, as it's almost the exact same chord progression in the verses as the Zep song (which they didn't write, BTW).

[/QUOTE]

Yep - that one is very similar to Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You, with the descending progression - it's largely the same thing but in half speed. Love Kills bears almost no resemblance, being pretty much the same chord over and over, in a key which doesn't sound at all close to the Zeppelin song.

they're actually totally different. led zep song intro immediately goes into different chords. brian's is the same chord played over and over again. and different picking and notes.

i had just posted and then read this post right above mine! ha ha said pretty much the same thing!

It's a total Zeppelin rip, but considering Zep's history of stealing every musical idea not actually nailed down and covered in a concrete dome, it is totally justice served to them. [/QUOTE]

+1 !!

listen to that one

great music is great music!
that´s the influence of quality!


I love what the guys made of "love kills"!

Sorry, but as a guitarist who plays for nearly 20 years, I don't hear anything similar, except an acoustic guitar. Each song has it's own scale and the melody notes are different.

this version is superior. shouldn't be a ballad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A_cxdjLj_w

Sounds whack. The only comparable similarity I can think of would be the closing drum burst at the end a la the Headbanger's Mix version of HTF.

I think LMIYHA kinda sounds like WHITESNAKE .. here I come again. .. if you're talking chords

But that's only in parts. Of course if you try hard enough you'll find similarities to other work
